About CBD

Sometimes, people make a mistake in saying that the CBD products you’ll typically find online and in stores derive from marijuana. But that’s rarely the case since marijuana is still considered an illegal substance under U.S. federal law. 

Instead, the CBD tinctures, topicals, gummies, sleep aids, and capsules available for sale usually contain extracts from hemp – a strain that contains negligible amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.

THC is the chemical responsible for the intoxicating effects of marijuana.

Hemp is a strain of cannabis that’s federally legal in the U.S. when it contains no more than 0.3 percent THC. 

What is CBD Oil?

CBD is just one of the many cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant, but unlike THC, CBD won’t get you high. Once CBD is suspended in a carrier oil, your body can better incorporate CBD.

There are multiple benefits of CBD oil and a number of reasons to use it, such as promoting a sense of calm and relaxation or soothing your muscles after an intense workout.
